The internet celebrity turned pro boxer finally found an opponent who accepted one of his numerous call-outs to MMA fighters. Ben Askren, a former ONE and Bellator welterweight champion, said that the fight against Paul would be the easiest money of his life.
Ben Askren unveiled a distinct order that he made for a custom punching bag in a post made to his Instagram account in preparation for the fight.
Paul’s image used to adorn the punching bag is a picture that the YouTuber himself had posted to his Twitter following his victory over former NBA player Nate Robinson. Paul looks hurt in the photo, and his face is full of bruises.
Ben Askren inquiries the product’s makers about the picture before aiming at Paul’s face and punching him to the nose.
Is Ben Askren the favorite to win against Jake Paul?
Even though Ben Askren was a professional MMA fighter with an extensive record of wins and titles, combat sports fans and experts are still not convinced that he will beat Jake Paul in their upcoming boxing match.
An outstanding wrestler, Ben Askren was never reassured by his boxing. The welterweight contender connected a total of zero significant strikes in his first two bouts in the UFC and struggled to fight standing up during all of his career in MMA.
Even though Paul has fought only twice, and neither of his opponents was a professional fighter, the YouTuber seems like he could have a better boxing technique than Ben Askren’s.
Who has more chances of winning the boxing match between Jake Paul and Ben Askren? Sound off in the comments.
